How do you know if starting a business is for you? You can begin by checking your present financial status.

These questions will help you decide if to start a business or not.

“Skill” and “competence” is what separate the successful entrepreneurs from the mediocre. Without having the right business skills, forget about becoming an entrepreneur. Example of business skills you need include selling skill, accounting skill, leadership skill, negotiation skill, etc.

4. Create a business idea or find a business opportunity

The idea is the foundation on which any business is built. It could be a service or a product idea but it needs to be solid and should solve a problem. Over time, i have shared a lot of ideas on this blog ranging from green business ideas, entrepreneurial ideas and social entrepreneurship ideas. The resources below will help you develop brilliant startup business ideas fast.

5. Conduct feasibility study

The world is filled with brilliant million dollar ideas; but the world lack brilliant entrepreneurs. Most business die without getting off the drawing board; they never cross the idea development stage. Now how do you differentiate a winning small business idea from a dead one? How much does it cost to start a business? How do you decide if a business opportunity is worth pursuing or not? How much money do you need to start a business?

Only a feasibility report holds the answer to all these questions. Conducting feasibility study was how I came up with this list of business opportunities in Nigeria.

6. Write a business plan

Most entrepreneurs don’t know how to write a business plan; so they launch their businesses without a plan. You can keep yourself ahead of others by writing a business plan for your idea. But you shouldn’t allow the process of making a business plan result to analysis paralysis and hinder your launch. Remember that in business and investing, timing is everything.

No matter how hard you study and try, you will never know it all and that’s why you need business coaches, advisors or mentors. They will help you avoid some deadly mistakes that most startups make in their early stage.
